BEYOND TOTAL BS .You need the same driver (pro level )driving BOTH CARS SAME DAY SAME TRACK( Keep dreaming guys )The day iam permitted to reveal the heads up comparasion RESULTS (Z06 verses ZR-1 )I WILL POST THEM. Accordingly EVERY TIME NineBall has a comment i will direct him back to this...
Bob Dodge closed barn door (price issue )2 years after the horse left .By the way WHO FIRST REPORTED THERE WOULD IN FACT BE A PRICE REDUCTION threw a coupon.
Since1994 Ran the drag racing for NJ VCA during the time of the VIPER NATS . During the 90s facilitated magazine tests for Super Chevy Mopar Perf Illustrated Muscle Mustang by providing all Gen of Vipers to the mags for shootouts thats where i got the experiance involving testing procedures
Bob i like the car but iam not going to live in a FANTASYLAND regarding its capabilitys and make false excuses for it Many on this forum(yourself included ) were not around during its glorydays WHEN NOTHING COULD TOUCH IT You really have no idea what it was like in comparason to what it is...
The Auto is so good the cars time is MUCH faster (Iam told the AUTO is 4 tenths plus fasteqr in the quarter even with a PRO driving the stick The auto trannys today are so superior in most super cars you cant even order a man trans (I believe the entire Ferrari line is all auto now)
Bob so then you would be willing to wager with me that a Stick z06 has gone faster than a 10.9 We will each put say 10k in escrow from there i will go public with the driver ,publication that MIGHT have beat that time Ps did you read the part of the article where the publications admit the Z06...
Once again ANY PERSON who knows the way ANY of the big 3 test their prototypes will tell you its almost impossible Chevy is going to release their flagship with such a cooling issue You have NEVER seen how a protoype is tested so your commentating from an uneducated bias opinion.If the car had...
I have verbosely redundant since this clubs inception dating back to 1994 when i ran dragracing for VCA NJ ( Now i got a NEWBIE giving me advice) Iam only redundant when inexperianced people like you make lame excusses about a subject they know absolutely nothing about .I didnt nail the whole...
LOL you cant possibly try to compare data from one mag to another for a million reasons (.Test procedures, track temp ,and most importantly DRIVER ABILITY) .All cars must be compared SAME DAY SAME TRACK SAME DRIVER. If one car was tested in Nevada in 90 heat by a so so driver and another...
I hate to break this to you (being from NJ and all )but manual trannys in supercars are just about obsolue Every high end super car in the world uses an automatic tranny because even the best drivers cant shift as fast as the new paddle type auto (I dont think you can even order a stick in a...
Wanted if you look back my buddy in marketing gave me the heads up on the coupon MONTHS before it came out .I posted it and of course everyone that paid near sticker for their Gen 5 was in BIG TIME DENIAL-EXCUSES (that will never happen ect ect )Now my magazine buddys who ran the Z06 months ago...
Bob you saw a car WITH BOLT ONS .For the 50th time i have the Perf numbers FOR THE NEW Z06 AND BOLT ONS TO A GEN 5 IN THE FORM OF AN ACR AINT GOING TO CATCH THAT VETTE .The reason its bolt ons (again for the 50th time )is theres no money to do anything signifigant. MARKETING is telling SRT that...
CAPP may never come back( what planet are you on ) To facilitate sales - unload 2 year old cars they had to give tens of thousands in rebates . Its near Dec maybe they can start producing 2015 in 2016 which would go well with the hundreds of 2013 still on dealer lots Why would Dodge want to...
Aint going to happen To produce an ACR capable of beating that Z06 Dodge would have to spend MILLIONS If there is an ACR it will be MINOR BOLT ONS as (for the hundredth time )theres no money in the budget to touch anything on the motor brakes drivetrain .The cars on the verge of being cancelled...
Because thats all Chevy got out of the car doesnt mean its not faster than a 10.9 FOR A MULTITUDE OF REASONS. All Ford could get out of the FGT Prototype was 11.3 untill they gave the car to Evan Smith at Englishtown and he got a flat 11.0 out of it Get that engineer to explain the fact that...
Bone stock in a Viper on stock tires .If they were DRAG RADIALS or the car was MODDED IN ANY WAY it dont count Iam not being negative iam being realistic .For the past 20 years i have an extensive drag racing background involving all STOCK PRODUCTION AMERICAN CARS including providing cars for...
Bob do want to wager on the fact that the best quarter mile time to date is only 10.9 (i know someone who BEAT that time already easily )Let me give you specifics The fastest documented time for ANY STOCK VIPER on stock tires is Jamie Furmans 10.9 (on Video )The fastest documented time for any...
Bob my guys are laughing at me for even asking them (What Ford or Dodge car club guy came up with that one on the internet) All of them heatsoak but the Z06 isnt going to do it more than the Hellcat and vice versa Driver for driver on a 90 degree day there is not a chance in HELL the old Z06 is...
I promise i will definately ask .My contacts are more Ford than GM but they all know each other (.The test drivers ect ) As far as temp i know its done at EVERY TEMP on Earth .Thousands of hours of it all data logged.I saw one of the hundreds of tests done on the Ford GT Prototype in 03 and...
Slight chance if so they got the money to fix it we dont I witnessed the testing of the Ford GT prototype and i cant believe GM didnt notice large amountsof heatsoak as thousands of hours are involved in every climate imagionable (who told you that probably someone from Ford or Dodge knowing...
The cars would be sold in one day alright but it would cost Dodge millions upon millions in research and development money to sell those 300 cars The record might only stand for a few months because that motor in the Z06 Vette is greenlighted to 850 horsepower (It has passed all...
